- Just wondering if anyone else has this problem, and whether or not any
- solutions/suggestions are out there...
-
- I have two 486 machines, each running DELL SVR4 v3.0. The home directories
- for the two machines are kept on the one named viola. The relevant line
- in viola's /etc/dfs/dfstab looks like this:
- share -F nfs -o rw /home
-
- The other machine (called cello) has this line in /etc/vfstab:
- viola:/home - /net/viola/home nfs - yes rw,hard
-
- The problem is this: When a user on cello wants to run (*cringe*) SCO
- FoxBase+ to access a file in her home directory (on viola), and sets an
- exclusive lock, the file cannot again be accessed, even after the FoxBase lock
- is cleared and the session is ended. Using the fuser(1M) command on viola,
- we find that the file in question is being held open by viola's lockd.
-
- HELP! Is there a way around this problem? Will using RFS solve it? If there
- is no solution, we'll have to revert to eash user having their home directory
- on their own server. =(
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- Byron.
